Yes, gum recession can be treated. Mild cases may improve with good oral hygiene and non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing. Severe cases may require gum graft surgery to restore lost tissue. A dentist can recommend the best treatment based on your condition.
Yes, receding gums can be repaired in most cases. The procedure is to remove gum tissue from an inconspicuous area of your mouth and attach it to the area where the gum has receded. This is called a graft. They don't always work, though.
